My first purchase from MLCS

Mike, it appears that all of us who hail from Cheshire are not only clever but modest with it!

The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking.

gotta love free shipping

Hi levon,

When I've ordered from MLCS in the past, I've always went with the free shipping offer. I've never had to wait more than 4 days the norm from them.

I have purchased a lot of stuff from them and never had a problem, everything has been of good quality. I am very pleased with the service.

levon

i should have already responded, i got my order sooner than expected. i do really like the collet extension and to avoid having problems getting bits out, before using the extension i made the wedge tools like BobJ recommended.

its a real plus when template routing and using short bits.

Only just spotted this! Where in Cheshire, Harry? Happy hours in The Rising Sun, in Tarporley.
BTW, I once spent the night in the police station in Altrincham!

I agree about MLCS's old paper catalogue. (something on topic, at least!)


Cheers

I just wonder if any Canucks here have ordered from MCLS? How was it for exchange/duty/taxes?

Ianwhitefeather

I dont know about Canucks, But I have ordered online from MLCS and I live in South Africa......their service was excellent and the goodies arrived within about 10 days.....I expected to wait at least a month........But then I have to Say, I also order from Lee Valley and Rockler ......and the same thing applies to their service......10 days or so and my goodies are there....as ordered. and I have had a few mails where the itmes I wanted were out of stock but they recommended a replacement and all worked out fine.
I woudlnt hessitate to buy form anyone of the three I have mentioned above.
